Flavors!
We have encouraged y'all to "Make preparedness a way of life" and shared that one way to do that is by purchasing and storing extra items or amounts of things you regularly buy when you go shopping. It's a good idea to include spices, sauces, seasoning, flavorings, extracts, and other things that you use to liven up your food in that, especially if you enjoy different ethnic entres. Then, should animal droppings hit the air-conditioning unit, whether because of a general economic downturn or a family setback, you and your family won't be suffering through bland, tasteless meals on top of adverse conditions. And, if you end up eating bugs because you haven't stored enough of what your family will eat, at least you'll be able to spice them up some! Just something to think about.
